Inspired by bjerg arcbolt/rajeki, my own preferences.
Be careful about getting baited into ult stealing early, generally just sit back and rain hell from the skies. Yamato/vin are your best consistent ults to steal for damage. Situationally steal nice utility spells that don't require large ult investment like dynamo, lash, mo.
